• Princeton avenged last year's loss at Brown that ended Princeton's Ivy title hopes with a win two weekends ago. Brown last won in Jadwin in 2010, which had been Princeton's last Ivy home loss until Yale broke the streak last year.

• Princeton has swept the final home Ivy weekend in four straight years. The last loss Princeton took on the final Ivy home weekend of the season was in 2009, when Dartmouth beat Princeton to spoil the Carril Court dedication game.

• Last weekend, T.J. Bray became the first Princeton player since the assist stat has been kept (since 1974-75) to have three 100-assist seasons. He needs five assists to pass John Thompson III '88 for third on Princeton's career assist list, where he'll likely finish as second place is held by Kit Mueller '91 at 381.

• Princeton has finished the Ivy season 9-5 or lower 15 times in the first 56 seasons of Ivy League basketball (last in 2008-09, 8-6). In the season following all 15 of those campaigns, Princeton's record was either the same (three times) or better (12 times), never worse. Five of those 15 times, Princeton went on to win the Ivy title the year after going 9-5 or lower. Eight of those 15 times, Princeton finished 11-3 or better a year after going 9-5 or lower.

• Princeton is 5-4 this season in games decided by four points or fewer. Princeton won four of the first five such games but has dropped three of the last four (won at Brown, lost at Penn, vs. Columbia, at Yale).

• Freshmen Spencer Weisz (14) and Steven Cook (8) have each started at least eight games, the first time since 2008-09 (Douglas Davis, Patrick Saunders) that Princeton has started rookies in that many games. If Cook and Weisz continue starting into the Cornell-Columbia weekend, it'd be the first time since 2006-07 (Marcus Schroeder, Lincoln Gunn) that two Princeton freshmen have started at least 10 games.

• Spencer Weisz is having a remarkable freshman season that has seen him score the eighth-most points for a Tiger rookie since freshmen became eligible in the 1978-79 season. His 231 points are the most for a Princeton freshman since Douglas Davis '12 scored 333 in 2008-09. His 54 assists are the most for a Princeton freshman since Marcus Schroeder '10 had 87 in 2006-07. His 109 rebounds are currently bettered by the 118 Hans Brase had last year, but if Weisz gets 10 more boards this season, he'd have the most for a Princeton freshman since Chris Young '02 had 160 in 1998-99.

• The Ivy League's official scoring champion is determined by Ivy games only, and Columbia's Alex Rosenberg strengthened his grip on that title by putting 31 points on Dartmouth last night. He leads T.J. Bray 20.6 ppg to 18.4 ppg, or 43 total points. Princeton's last Ivy League scoring champion was Brian Taylor '84 in 1972 (Taylor entered with the Class of 1973), and Princeton could have the Ivy's second-leading scorer two straight years after Ian Hummer '13 finished second to Harvard's Wesley Saunders last year.

• Even though this is T.J. Bray's third year as a starter, and despite missing four games this season, Bray's senior campaign is already his highest scoring, with 354 points this year and 278 a year ago. He's at 910 career points and would need to average 22.5 ppg over the last four to become the 30th member of Princeton's 1,000-point club.

• At 354 points this season, T.J. Bray is within reach of becoming the 30th player in program history, all since 1954, to score 400 points in a season. He has had four former teammates reach the number, including Dan Mavraides '11, Kareem Maddox '11, Douglas Davis '12 and Ian Hummer '13. Mavraides, Maddox and Hummer in 2011 were the first Princeton players to reach 400 in a season since 2000.

• At 16-8, Princeton has clinched a winning season and made Mitch Henderson the first Princeton coach since John Thompson III '88 (Princeton coach 2000-04) to have winning campaigns in each of his first three seasons as Princeton coach. Henderson is the sixth Princeton coach to accomplish that.

• If Princeton wins out, Mitch Henderson would become just the third Princeton coach to have at least 20 wins in at least two of his first three seasons. The other two were Henderson's fellow alumnus Butch van Breda Kolff '44 and Henderson's former coach, Bill Carmody. Pete Carril was one win away from doing so, going 20-6, 19-7 and 16-9.

• The biggest statistical difference between Princeton's 9-1 start and going 7-7 in the 14 games since is from beyond the arc. The Tigers were shooting .399 from distance in the 9-1 stretch and allowing just a .297 clip. In the 7-7 stretch since, Princeton is shooting .319 from 3-point range and allowing .358.

• The importance of 3-point shooting to the Tigers is also clear when looking at stats in wins versus losses. In wins, Princeton shoots .367 from distance. In losses, .322. Defense has also been important in determing the Tigers' outcome this season. In wins, Princeton allows a .414 overall FG clip and .307 from beyond the arc. In losses, it's .478 overall and .389 from 3-point range.

• During the 0-4 start to the Ivy season, Princeton allowed opponents to shoot .493 from the field overall and .380 from beyond the arc on the way to an average of 72.5 ppg. In the six games since, Princeton has allowed opponents to shoot .382 from the field overall and .280 from beyond the arc on the way to 56.8 ppg. The wins have come despite Princeton's shooting percentage going down from the 0-4 start to going 4-2 since. The Tigers were .459/.327 overall/3pt during the winless streak (67.8 ppg) and .399/.293 since (62.3 ppg). Rebounding has also helped the Tigers turn it around, as Princeton was getting outrebounded by 6.5 rpg while going 0-4 and is outrebounding opponents by 2.2 rpg since.

• Princeton outshot Brown from the field .519 to .418 in the game in Providence two weekends ago and outrebounded the Bears 36-27, leading to a 69-65 win. That allowed Princeton to overcome a 13-10 turnover disadvantage and only going 10-14 from the free throw line to 15-19 for Brown.

• In Brown, Princeton will face the Ivy's overall leader in field goal percentage defense at .389, the only Ivy team not allowing a .400 average on the season. The Bears also allow an Ivy-best .280 clip from beyond the arc, the only Ivy team under .300. Though Brown succeeded in denying Princeton from 3-point range in Providence two weekends ago (3-17, .176), Princeton shot .519 (28-54) from the field overall.

• Princeton remains as the Ivy's leader in 3-pointers per game at 9.5 on the season overall. Columbia is second at 8.0.

• Entering the week, Princeton had three national top-10 statistical rankings. The Tigers were No. 4 in fewest fouls (402), fourth in 3-pointers per game (9.6), and ninth in fewest total turnovers (259).

• Entering the week, T.J. Bray had played his way into the national top 250 in nine statistical categories with a high of 20th in assist-to-turnover ratio at 2.94. He was also 36th in field goal percentage at .551.

• Princeton is 12-3 this season when opponents score below 70 points and 4-5 when opponents reach 70. The Columbia game was the first game that Princeton's opponent won despite not scoring at least 70 points, followed by the game at Yale and the home game against Harvard.• Princeton is 13-3 this season when leading at the half this season and had won 22 straight such games before the home Columbia, road Yale and home Harvard contests.

• Princeton has a chance to break the program record for 3-pointers made in a season. The 1997-98 team made 265, and the Tigers are currently at 227. With four games to go, Princeton would have to average 9.5 3-pointers per game to break the record, just ahead of the team's current average of 9.45.

• Of Princeton's 1,264 field goal attempts this season, 640, or 50.6 percent, have been from beyond the arc.

• Princeton is 13-3 this season when holding opponents below 37 percent from beyond the arc and 3-5 when foes hit at least 37 percent of their treys.

• Brown's Rafael Maia is the Ivy's best rebounder on the season overall at 8.2 boards a game. The Bears have five of the top 15 rebounders in the Ivy on the season overall.

• Brown's Sean McGonagill is tops in the Ivy in 3-pointers per game on the season overall at 3.2. Teammate Cedric Kuakumensah is the best in the league at 3.0 blocked shots per game, a full block per game better than runner-up Justin Sears of Yale (1.9).

• Brown's .387 field goal percentage allowance was the 11th best in the nation entering the week. The Bears' opponents' .281 3-point FG percentage was fourth-best in the nation entering the week. Brown's 28.4 defensive rebounds per game were fifth-best in the nation

• Five Bears have started at least 21 games, including Sean McGonagill, Rafael Maia, Cedric Kuakumensah, Steven Spieth and Tavon Blackmon. McGonagill leads the team in scoring at 17.4 ppg.

• Brown is 13-0 this season when scoring 70 points. The Bears are 11-1 when shooting at least .430 from the field.

Mitch Henderson '98 is in his third season as Princeton's head coach. His overall record at Princeton is 53-31.

Under Henderson, Princeton is 28-8 at home, 24-14 in the Ivy League, and 16-3 in the Ivy League at home. Princeton is 41-11 when leading at the half under Henderson.

Henderson is the first Princeton coach since John Thompson III ’88 (2000-04) to have winning seasons in each of his first three campaigns. He is the sixth Princeton coach to accomplish that, following Frederick Luehring (1912-20), Butch van Breda Kolff ’44 (1962-67), Pete Carril (1967-96), Bill Carmody (1996-2000) and Thompson III ’88 (2000-04).

Henderson is in ninth place on the Princeton all-time wins list, with predecessor Sydney Johnson '97 in eighth with 66 wins over four seasons. With 37 wins through his first two seasons, Henderson was fourth on the list of wins for Princeton coaches through their first two campaigns, behind Carmody (51), van Breda Kolff (39), and Carril (39).

Henderson was a second-team All-Ivy Leaguer in 1998, an honorable mention All-Ivy Leaguer in 1997, and was a two-time Ivy Rookie of the Week in 1994-95.

Henderson graduated as the fourth-leading assist man in program history (kept since 1974-75) and is now fifth, having been surpassed by one of his players, Ian Hummer '13. Henderson graduated fifth in career assists (kept since 1974-75) and is now eighth, having been passed by former teammate Gabe Lewullis '99, current San Diego Padre Will Venable '05 and Marcus Schroeder '10. Henderson is one of seven Princeton alumni who are current Division I head coaches, including John Thompson III '88 (Georgetown), Joe Scott '87 (Denver), Mike Brennan '94 (American), Chris Mooney '94 (Richmond), Sydney Johnson '97 (Fairfield) and Craig Robinson '83 (Oregon State). The Tigers are second only to North Carolina (eight) in alumni as current D-I head coaches.

Prior to Princeton, Henderson coached at Northwestern for 11 seasons under his final head coach at Princeton, Bill Carmody, from 2000-11.
